Congrats coal167 and welcome to the forum! you may want to reconsider your budget.......and "slurge" on such an important feature as capturing all the wedding details you've invested so much time, energy + resources in - planning and getting just right.

Your photo record of this once in a lifetime celebration will be cherished for generations to come, so it's worth considering what you're willing to pay for this invaluable resource.

While "Uncle Joe" with his point n click camera means well, he just can't deliver professional results .....he doesn't have the training + knowledge, experience or equipment to do so.

You can never "buy back the moments that matter".......it's a one-time shot at getting the "gold" !

I'm going with Photos In Cancun. They're actually my bridesmaid's friends, and they're reasonably priced. I'm paying $2500 for all day coverage, and they will have a DVD of all the photos taken that day for me the same night.

Well done, futuremrswarner! sounds like you found the right fit for your wedding........looking forward to seeing your photos ! wishing you all the best, and that you have the perfect wedding of your dreams....Enjoy
